Gradient doesn't work

[dab963]

Hi, regarding the latest updates of Illustrator I noticed that the gradient doesn't work correctly anymore. When I use the gradient it's no longer a uniform shade but is streaked, thereford I can't use gradients anymore and it's quite a problem.
Thanks

It would have been better if you had shown an example, now it is guessing:

Preview problem? Try to switch from GPU to CPU preview (Cmd or Ctrl E).

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I didn't attached any file, I will now so that I can show you. The picture I attached is with the CPU preview, it's the same with the GPU and when I export it too.

I am afraid it is caused by a limited amount of greys stretched over a large area.

Adding noise could mask it (like Photoshop does with dithering gradients).

That's unfortunately a 1080 x 1920px and it never did it until I've updated the latest version of Illustrator, that's why I was concerned. Anyhow thank you very much for you time 🙂

You can have multiple versions of Illustrator installed, if you think your previous version handled it better, you can install it by clicking on the 3 dots next to Illustrator in the CC app and select other versions.
